Usually your Orthodontist will tell you, but your suppose to wear it as often as possible. 24/7 is stretching it. You cant really eat with them and wearing them at night tends to be the next best thing. People just dont like to wear them in the day because it looks weird and you tend to speak with a lisp. So no one wants that kind of embarrassment. But its their choice on their method. ]
It all depends on your situation. Some people wear them all the time and others only wear them at night. However, you have to take it out when you eat. The doctor goes over all of this though.
